For Today....

I go this from a friends blog (I i changed a few of the beginning phrases to fit me) and have really enjoyed her posts and thought I'd do my own. Please feel free to copy and do one yourself.

FOR TODAY....

Outside my window.... the sky is grey and the ground is wet. Hints of Spring are around.
I am thinking.... that I get discouraged too easily and that I am too caught up in this life.
I am thankful for.... my husband.
I wish..... I wouldn't let my husband and kids down so often.

From the Kitchen.... Still enjoying our e-mealz journey. I believe on todays menu is a spaghetti casserole minus the onions, of course.
Around the House.... everything needs done. My handy-man hubby has been fixing the kitchen counter tile. I thank the Lord that Rod does these things himself.
From the Schoolroom.... I am saddened that the girls don't get to attend Central Christian next year and frightened by Jareds decision to attend Redmond High School.

I am wearing.... Sweats and a hoodie...and fur lined slippers. It's cold today.
I am creating.... nothing at the moment. Maybe I need to rediscover this side of myself.
I am going.... to tackle some daunting tasks today and quit procrastinating.
I am reading.... The Shack. The second time through is even better than the first. At least I can get through a page without needing a tissue.
I am praying.... for a friend from church who underwent a double mastectomy yesterday. For a rediscovered old friend who has her adopted daughters biological father wanting a visit. For my father-in-law who has to undergo a procedure next week. For my children and husband.

I am hoping.... that during the Womens Conference worship times this weekend that I can worship and not perform. Lord help me be comfortable onstage.
I am hearing.... my husband working hard. He deserves a break.
I am looking forward to.... this weekend. RCC Womens Mini-Conference on joy. We could all use some extra joy during these times.

One of my favorite things....warm, gooey, fresh-from-the-oven brownies. Delish.
Some plans for the remainder of the week.....chauffering kids, dishes, laundry, eBay, WII, worship music practice, womens conference.

pacemaker

Hi
I just wrote a blog and didn't get it posted so now I am trying again. I hate rewriting something I just wrote!!
Last week Lloyd had to wear a type of heart moniter for 48 hours and it showed that his heart stops often for as long as 2.8 seconds. The cardiologist thinks this is not good and so next Wednesday, May 6th he will put a pacemaker in Lloyd. Heather can probably answer any questions you might have as she has gone to the last 3 doctor's appointments with us and even taken notes. I figured that you all would want to know the latest with what is happening with him and the problems he has been having.

PS. It would sure be more interesting if more of you would take the time to jot something down on this blog.(I know I have been just as guilty of not contributing)

Spirit week!!!

Hello everybody, hope you are doing great. Anyways I wanted to tell you that we are having spirit week this week, and it is awesome. Today was crazy hair/class color day (i will post pics of want i looked like throughout the week at the end of the week.) Our color was orange. So everybody in our class was like covered in orange. Except like 5 people. Tomorrow is dress like your favorite star/ super hero day. i don't know what I am going to for that yet. Wednesday is pajama day!!!! i can't wait! I have always wanted to go to school in my pajamas! ._. Then Thursday is celebrate the 80's day. I have no idea what to do for that. Then last is Hawaiian day. And again I have no idea what to for that day. But what sucks is on top of spirit week is also S.A.T week. So our schedule is like totally messed up. Anyways I have to go now BYE!!!!

I hath returneth...

Well I hath returneth, but not for very long. I have a test tomorrow in my Ethics class... but I remembered I hadn't posted in a while since the first day of term I guess. So term is going okay for me. I got a 97 on my first group auditing test, so hopefully we will continue to do well. Umm I took my first test for my corporate income tax class tonite, didn't do as well as I hoped, but I do have another chance. Umm, I'm beginning to develop calluses for the guitar, at least I hope, but it's fun to play nonetheless.

On the bright side of things I did finish my capstone paper. The downside of things, my spanish teacher doesn't want me to translate it anymore, she wants me to do some heavy duty analysis on the songs and write that in Spanish. Which is not at all what I wanted to do, considering I'm not very good at analyzing things, I take things to literally I think. Oh well, I guess I have to try now.

I better get going so I can study, but I wanted to drop by and say hi and see how everybody was doing. So what did everybody do for Easter?? I know my parents were in New Mexico with Alan, Suzanne, Jacob, and Wendy.... and I'm pretty sure most people mighta went to Ben and Tia's for dinner. But anything else, Easter egg hunts, candy hunts, whatever? It'd be nice to hear from people, especially when I'm cornered off all by myself in this very cold Eastern part of the state where it tried to Snow today of all things.... Grr... Anyways, I'll talk to you all later I suppose, have a good rest of the week. :)

Love ~ Alyssa <><

Happy Easter

He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed!

Wendy Christine Attebery

Here are the pics of our new bundle of joy so that everyone can be happy. we've been pretty busy with everything especially with trying to get everything paid from last week since we were in the hospital for about 50 hours. On a better note Wendy is doing great and Suzanne is still trying to sleep all day but she gets to. here is the facts for those who don't know. Wendy was born on April 2 at 0337 that's 3:37 AM for you non military people, She weighed 9 LBS 1OZ and was 20 3/4 IN long. Jacob loves his new sister and is always trying to feed her when she cries it's kind of his cure all. other then that we will blog another time.
